ANTWERP, OCT. 4.—The night between the 29th 30th of last month spread terror throughout th e English position. The whole British squadron .was in motion; and a 74 gun ship got aground. The foU , .ving day she was taken in tow by a frigate, and hrought afloat. In the afternoon she was surrounded a number of small armed vessel's. Several of the persons who were wrecked, succeeded in saving themselves in the island of Cadsand. The climate of the Island of Walcheren proves so destructive to the English, that in the sole burying ground of the city of Flos; - ,ing, 513 graves have been dug, con . iaining each four soldiers, and 19 graves foi - officers. --(Royal Amsterdam Gazette, Off. 2.)

We last night stopped the Press to announce to . our Readers the important Intelligence of the Con chasion of a Peace between Austria and France. The intelligence was received by Government from the Commander of our Forces in Walcheren. At a late hour last night, Dutch and French Papers, the for 7 mer to the 14th, and the latter to the 11th instant, reached town, which confirm that account. The Amsterdam Gazette, of the loth inst. states, that the Peace was signed at Altenbergh,but it does not men 7 tion the date. Private letters, however, state, that it was signed on the 31st. 'We were told in the last French Papers that the Negotiators had removed from Altenburg!) to Vienna, and we confess that we should have expaited that BUONAPARTE would have insisted upon the Treaty being signed in the latter place, in order to augment his triumph over his adversary. A Letter from Stutgard says it was signed at Schoenbrunn on the night between the 29th and 30t.h ult. Of the terms of this Treaty we are yet unable to speak with any degree of precision. No official details have, we believe, been received upon the subje&. An Opposition Paper of this morning, in coal, .meeting upon the article in which we communicat ed the intelligence to the public last night, says, that Ministers confess that the terms are as humiliating to Austria as the most melancholy presages could di vine. We will repeat the terms we made use of, and then leave the public to judge of the fairness of the construElion which has been put upon our language. After mentioning the signature of the Treaty, we said that " we had not learned the terms, but we feared that they were humiliating to Austria," and ti,isis represented as a confession by Ministers, that the terms were as humiliating to Austria as the most melancholy presages could divine." Private accounts state that Austria has consented to cede Trieste, Fiume, Spalatro, and the whole of Da!maim, to France. It is singular that the signature of the Treaty is not mentioned in the Moniteur of the toth inst. We this morning received Portuguese Papers to the 27th ult. It does not appear that any move ment of consequence had taken place in Spain. We are happy however to find that an ample supply of provisions and troops have been thrown into Gerona, A report was mentioned in a Paper of this Morn ing, that the Margnis of WELLESLEY had received instructions to proceed to Paris, to open a Negocia don' with BUONAPARTE. It is hardly necessary to state to our Readers, that the ReporV is wholly un fountled. Government have received Dispatches from clajo, of the date of the 21st ult. but they con tain no news of importance. Sotrur remained still at Placentia, and. the Marquis DE LA RomANA was at Ciudad Roderigo with his army. Our troops, we are happy to add, were in excellent health. and spirits. The Indefatigable frigate, which has arrived at Plymouth, from Ferrol and Corunna, has brought several Letters, which give a most favourable repre, sentation of the aithirs of Spain. We have made some extrads from them, but we fear the picture is too highly coloured. Yesterday morning His MAJESTY, Princesses Au- GIISTA and SoPINA, and the Duke 01 CUMBERLAND, accoinrinied by Count MUNSTER, Lady ELY, Gen. FITZRoY, HO,l. Mr. VILLtERS, and 'Col. TAYLOR, rode on horseback in Windsor Great Park, and re turned at twelve o'clock. • The Duke of CUMBERLAND afterwards set off for The Duke of KENT kit Windsor on Monday af ternoon, for Castlehear Hill. It has been stated, but we have reason to believe without the slightest founclJtiorr in fad, that Mr. CooxE, Under Secretary of Stale in the Colonial a:pal - in - lent, is to succeed Mr. HUSKISSON, as Se cretary. to the Treasury. ,•,..

The enemy occupies Qsarta, Tembleque, and DaS-barrias, and his advanced parties are in Yektes and Villasolas. The French artillery has been re moved from Mora to 4lmonacid, where the enemy fortifies himself, and his movements are so various, that it is impossible to penetrate into his future plan of operation. • PSBON, SEPT. 25.—Letters from Castello Vlanco advise, that the French who occupied Coria and its environq have retreated into the interior of Spain.— We also know, by letters from Alen) Tego, that the Spanish army of Estremadura is about to put itself in motion, probably for the ,purpose of detaching 18,009 men,who Ore to Soin the army in La Mancha.

By an ex press arrived at Truxillo, from Ciudad Rodrigo, in telligence has been received. that the said place has been occupied by a considerable force, under the orders of the Duke DE PARQtIE. The army of Gallicia commanded by Generals MENDIZABAL and BALLESTEROS is shortly to arrive in Ciudad Rodrigo. Oa the first of September a division of six thou sand men entered Gerona, under the orders of Ge neral CONDE, with six thousand beasts, loaded with all sorts of provisions, and two hundred quintals of gunpowder. General LAYGON is with his division two leagues from that city, and the fire against that Important place has ceased.—(This is qfficiao BADAJOS, SEPT. 20.—0 n the 14th of this month arrived in this city his Excellency the Marquis Da LA RomANA.
